It was one malicious challenge.
The Merseyside derby was high on octane, and high on atmosphere, but low on quality on Monday evening before Sadio Mané popped up with a goal in injury time.
With Everton and Liverpool locked at a stalemate going towards the last 20 minutes of the game, with neither side producing any serious quality, Ross Barkley went in on his England team-mate Jordan Henderson with the filthiest of tackles.
Reaction was predictably one-sided (because it was a pretty bad tackle, let's be clear).

When all of that had died down, Sadio Mané pounced on an effort from substitute Daniel Sturridge to give Liverpool a scarcely deserved win.
